Abstract
Description
- This application claims the benefit of Japan Patent Application No. 2018-063591, filed with the Japan Intellectual Property Office on Mar. 29, 2018, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
- The present invention relates to a pipe cross-section processing device that applies a rotational processing to the cross section of a pipe.
- To prevent heating pipes from becoming detached and to provide a coupling structure between pipes, the related art employs a process of rotating the front portion of a pipe outwardly in a radial direction of the pipe.
- A device for performing such a process is found in Japanese Utility Model Publication 1994-066828 (published Sep. 20, 1994; hereinafter referred to as Utility Model Document 1), which discloses a device for expanding a heating pipe that attaches an expansion piece having a tapering portion onto the front end of a heating pipe exposed at the piping opening of a piping panel and performs a bell mouth processing of rotating the front end of a heating pipe outwardly in a radial direction of the pipe, so that the heating pipe may be prevented from becoming detached from the piping panel.
- Also, Utility Model Document 1 discloses a device for expanding a heating pipe including a shape memory alloy expansion member that moves a roller outwardly in a radial direction of the pipe in a rotating manner, so that the roller may move the front end of a heating pipe exposed at the piping hole of a piping panel outwardly in a radial direction of the pipe in a rotating manner according to the rotational driving of a mandrel.
- However, the device equipped with an expansion piece having a tapered portion disclosed in Utility Model Document 1 does not offer a degree of freedom in the angle by which the cross section of the pipe may be rotated.
- Also, whereas the device equipped with a shape memory alloy expansion member that rotates the roller outwardly with respect to the radial direction of the pipe disclosed in Utility Model Document 1 does offer a certain degree of freedom in the rotated angle of the pipe cross section, there is difficulty in providing a rotation angle of 90° or greater about the central axis of the pipe.
- An embodiment of the invention provides a device for processing a cross section of a pipe that may include: a
base 11; arotation drive source 12 configured to rotate thebase 11; ashaft 13 of which one end is secured to a front end portion of thebase 11; aslide base 17 which has theshaft 13 inserted therethrough so as to be capable of a sliding movement along the axis of theshaft 13; aroller guide member 18 which is secured to theslide base 17 and in which aroller guide groove 19 is formed; a slide-base drive member 20 configured to convert the rotational motion of thebase 11 into a linear motion so as to drive theslide base 17 together with theroller guide member 18 in a sliding movement; and aroller 21 configured to be adhered to an inner surface of a pipe to rotationally process a cross section of the pipe outwardly in a radial direction of the pipe. - The
cross section 22 a at one end of aroller axle 22 within theroller 21 may be connected to a front end side surface of theshaft 13 in a freely rotatable manner, and thecross section 22 b at the other end of theroller axle 22 may be engaged with theroller guide groove 19, so that thecross section 22 b at the other end of theroller axle 22 may be configured to undergo a circular motion in an opposite direction of thecross section 22 a at the one end of theroller axle 22 according to the sliding movement of theslide base 17. - According to an embodiment of the invention, the
roller 21 may be adhered to the inside of pipe cross section in rotationally processing thepipe cross section 1 a outwardly in the radial direction of the pipe, so that the processing may be performed with reduced friction. Also, as thecross section 22 b on the other end of theroller axle 22 is configured to undergo a circular motion in the opposite direction of thecross section 22 a on the one end of theroller axle 22 according to the sliding movement of theslide base 17, the degree of freedom may be improved for the rotational angle of thepipe cross section 1 a. For example, the processing can provide a rotation angle of 90° or greater with respect to the central axis of the pipe. - Also, as the rotational motion of the
base 11 applied by therotation drive source 12 is converted into sliding movement of theslide base 17, the rotational movement of thebase 11 and the sliding movement of theslide base 17 can be implemented by a single drive source. - An embodiment of the invention can reduce friction during the processing and can improve the degree of freedom as regards the rotational angle of the pipe cross section. For example, the rotation angle can be processed to a perpendicular angle (90°) or greater with respect to the central axis of the pipe.
- Also, the rotational movement of the base and the sliding movement of the slide base can be implemented by a single drive source, whereby the device can be made more compact.
- An embodiment of the invention is suitable for forming a pipe coupling structure by rotating the pipe cross sections of two pipes outwardly in a perpendicular angle to form a flange on each pipe and then aligning and fastening the two pipes with each other.
- Additional aspects and advantages of the present invention will be set forth in part in the description which follows, and in part will be obvious from the description, or may be learned by practice of the invention.

FIG. 1 toFIG. 5 . - <Overall Composition of the Pipe Cross-Section Processing Device 100>
- The pipe 1 being processed may be held in place by a
jig member 2, with thepipe cross section 1 a exposed from thejig member 2. - A
base 11 having a cylindrical shape may be joined to the drive axis of arotation drive source 12, such as a motor, etc., to be driven in a rotational movement about the cylinder axis of thebase 11. At the front end portion of thebase 11, one end of ashaft 13 may be secured. This allows theshaft 13 to be driven in a rotational movement together with thebase 11 about the axis of the shaft. - In this case, the
base 11 may be composed of aconcave part 14 and an object (lid) 15 placed over theconcave part 14. Thecross section 13 a at one end of theshaft 13 may have a threaded portion, and this threaded portion may be connected to theconcave part 14 via a coupling hole formed in the center portion of theobject 15 and be screwed tight by a nut 16 at the opposite side of the object (lid) 15. As theobject 15 forms an integrated body with thebase 11, it can be regarded as a part of thebase 11. - The
shaft 13 may be inserted through a central hole portion of aslide base 17 having the shape of a circular plate. Theshaft 13 may have a polygonal (e.g. quadrilateral) cross section, and theslide base 17 may be configured to slide along the axis of theshaft 13. - A
roller guide member 18 may include aroller guide groove 19 and may be secured to a front surface of theslide base 17. A slide-base drive member 20 may convert the rotational motion of thebase 11 into a linear motion to drive theslide base 17 together with theroller guide member 18 in a sliding movement. Theroller guide groove 19 may include a through-hole that penetrates through theroller guide member 18. - The
cross section 22 a at one end of aroller axle 22 of theroller 21 may be connected to the side surface at the front end of theshaft 13 in a freely rotatable manner, while thecross section 22 b at the other end of theroller axle 22 may be engaged with theroller guide groove 19. Theroller axle 22 may support theroller 21 while allowing it to rotate freely. - The
cross section 22 b at the other end of theroller axle 22 may be configured to move in a circular motion in an opposite direction of thecross section 22 a at the one end of theroller axle 22 according to the sliding movement of theslide base 17. - Thus, the
roller 21 may be installed on the inner surface of the pipe's cross section to perform a rotational processing of thepipe cross section 1 a outwardly with respect to the radial direction of the pipe. Theroller 21 may have a cylindrical or conical roller surface. - According to the pipe cross-section processing device 100, the rotational processing of the
pipe cross section 1 a in an outward direction with respect to the radial direction of the pipe may be performed with theroller 21 adhered to the inside of the pipe cross section, so that the friction experienced during the processing can be reduced. In addition, as thecross section 22 b at the other end of theroller axle 22 is configured to undergo a circular motion in the opposite direction of thecross section 22 a at the one end of theroller axle 22 according to the sliding movement of theslide base 17 androller guide member 18, the degree of freedom may be increased in terms of the rotation angle of thepipe cross section 1 a. For example, the rotation angle can be made a perpendicular angle (90°) or even a greater angle with respect to the central axis of the pipe. - In this case, the front surface 2 a of the
jig member 2 at the side of the pipe cross section may be a fixed surface up to which thepipe cross section 1 a may be rotated outwardly in the pipe's radial direction, and depending on its inclination angle with respect to the pipe's central axis, the rotation angle of thepipe cross section 1 a can be adjusted. - Also, as the sliding movement of the
slide base 17 may be obtained by converting the rotational motion of thebase 11 being rotated by therotation drive source 12 into a linear motion, the drive source can be unified. - While it is possible to use one set or two sets of
rollers 21 androller guide members 18, it may also be advantageous to have four sets corresponding to four sides of theshaft 13, as illustrated inFIG. 2 , as these are rotated evenly along the circumferential direction of thepipe cross section 1 a. - <Composition of the Slide-
Base Drive Member 20> - The slide-
base drive member 20 may be secured to the outer perimeter of thebase 11 by way of a threaded joint and may include aslide nut 23, of which the front end surface may be in contact with theslide base 17, and arotation restrictor member 24, which may face the outer perimeter of theslide nut 23 and restrict the rotation of theslide nut 23. As thebase 11 moves in a rotational motion, theslide nut 23 may move in a linear motion along the outer perimeter of thebase 11, driving theslide base 17 to undergo a sliding movement. It may be advantageous to have theslide nut 23 secured by threads to the outer perimeter of theobject 15 also, so as to further elongate the distance of its linear motion. - In this case, if there were no
rotation restrictor member 24, theslide nut 23 would rotate together with thebase 11 as an integrated body, but due to therotation restrictor member 24, theslide nut 23 may not rotate but rather may move in a linear motion along the outer perimeter of thebase 11 in the direction of the rotational axis. - In this way, the
rotation drive source 12 for rotating thebase 11 can be used, converting the rotational motion of thebase 11 into a linear motion of theslide nut 23. - As a more detailed example of how the rotation of the
slide nut 23 may be restrained, a drivemember guide pin 25 may be provided perpendicularly on the outer perimeter of theslide nut 23, and a drivemember guide groove 26 may be formed in therotation restrictor member 24. The drivemember guide pin 25 may be joined such that it is able to move along the drivemember guide groove 26. - <Joint Structure of the
Roller 21 andShaft 13> - As described above, the
cross section 22 a at one end of theroller axle 22 of theroller 21 may engage the front end side surface of theshaft 13 in a freely rotatable manner. An example of such a composition is described below with reference toFIG. 3 .FIG. 3 illustrates this portion as seen from the front end of theshaft 13 ofFIG. 1 . - A pair of
roller support plates 27 may be secured perpendicularly to the front end side surfaces of theshaft 13, androtary pins 28 may be inserted through guide holes formed in the pair ofroller support plates 27 such that the rotary pins 28 are able to rotate freely. Also, thecross section 22 a at one end of theroller axle 22 may be connected to a center portion of therotary pin 28, which may be located between a pair ofsupport plates 27. This may allow theroller axle 22 to freely rotate about thecross section 22 a at the one end. - <Joint Structure of the
Roller Axle 22 andRoller Guide Groove 19> - As described above, the
cross section 22 b at the other end of theroller axle 22 may engage theroller guide groove 19. An example of such a composition is described below with reference toFIG. 4 .FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view of theroller guide member 18 and aroller arm 29. The cross section of one side of theroller arm 29 may be coupled to thecross section 22 b at the other end of theroller axle 22, and the cross section of the other side of theroller arm 29 may be coupled to afinger part 29 a, to which anarm guide pin 30 may be joined. - The
arm guide pin 30 may be connected to be movable along theroller guide groove 19. In this example, theroller guide groove 19 may be a through-hole bored into theroller guide member 18, and thearm guide pin 30 may be connected by being inserted into the through-hole. That is, theroller axle 22 may be coupled to theroller guide groove 19 by way of theroller arm 29 andarm guide pin 30 arranged in-between. - In this way, the
arm guide pin 30 joined to the cross section on the other side of theroller arm 29 may undergo a circular motion with respect to thecross section 22 a at the one end of theroller axle 22, according to the sliding movement of theroller guide member 18, so that thecross section 22 b at the other end of theroller axle 22 may also be moved in a circular motion in an opposite direction of thecross section 22 a at the one end of theroller axle 22 according to the sliding movement of theslide base 17. - <Operation of the Pipe Cross-Section Processing Device 100>
- Next, the operation of the pipe cross-section processing device 100 is described below with reference to
FIG. 1 andFIG. 5 . Firstly, in the initial state shown inFIG. 1 , the pipe 1 may be secured by thejig member 2, and theshaft 13 may be inserted into the pipe 1. Here, thepipe cross section 1 a may be exposed at thejig member 2, and theroller 21 may be connected to be in contact with the inside of the cross section of the pipe 1. - Then, when the rotation drive
source 12 is turned on to a regular rotation mode to rotate thebase 11 and theshaft 13, theroller 21 may rotate while spinning along the inner perimeter of the pipe cross section. According to the rotation of thebase 11, theslide nut 23 may move in a straight line in the direction of the front end of theshaft 13 until its front end contacts theslide base 17. - As illustrated in
FIG. 5 , if theslide nut 23 moves further forward, theslide base 17 and theroller guide member 18 may slide, and accordingly, thearm guide pin 30 joined with theroller arm 29 may move along theroller guide groove 19. - As the
cross section 22 b at the other end of theroller axle 22 is thus made to undergo a circular motion in an opposite direction of thecross section 22 a at the one end of theroller axle 22, theroller 21 may be adhered to the inside surface of the pipe cross section and may continue to rotate outwardly with respect to the radial direction of thepipe cross section 1 a. When theslide nut 23 moves further forward from the state shown inFIG. 5 , the rotation angle of thepipe cross section 1 a may be increased, until ultimately thepipe cross section 1 a may join the front surface 2 a of thejig member 2 at the side of the pipe cross section. - Thus, the rotational processing of the
pipe cross section 1 a may be completed. Afterwards, theshaft 13 may be pulled out from the pipe 1. Then, the rotation drivesource 12 may be turned on to a reverse rotation mode, rotating the base 11 in a reverse direction. This may cause theslide nut 23 to retreat and return to its initial position. By sliding theslide base 17 in reverse, theslide base 17 and theroller guide member 18 may be returned to their initial positions. - The pipe cross-section processing device 100 may be suitable for forming a pipe coupling structure by rotating the
pipe cross sections 1 a of two pipes 1 outwardly in the radial directions of the pipes, in opposite directions of the pipes' axes, rotating thepipe cross sections 1 a back in a perpendicular angle to form a flange on each pipe and then aligning and fastening the two pipes with each other. In such cases, the rotated portions of thepipe cross section 1 a tend to return to angles that are somewhat smaller than right angles due to elastic restoration, so that it may be necessary to rotate the pipe cross sections to angles that are equal to or greater than right angles in consideration of such elastic restorative forces. Therefore, the inclination angle of the front surface 2 a of thejig member 2 at the side of the pipe cross section may be made greater than a perpendicular angle.
